Pros
  • Purpose-built freediving algorithm that flags Taravana (decompression-sickness-like) risk
  • Compact 48mm case, wears like an everyday watch
  • User-replaceable CR2450 battery with a sleep mode to save power
Cons
  • Freediving only, no scuba/nitrox dive modes, unlike the visually similar Goa
  • No digital compass
  • No app connectivity without the separate BT Interface accessory

The Nepto is Cressi’s dedicated freediving computer, sharing its compact watch case with the scuba-oriented Goa but running a different algorithm built around freediving safety, specifically guarding against Taravana and pulmonary edema risk on repeated breath-hold dives. It’s not a substitute for a scuba computer.
